Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Bicolore revealed in Qatar

January 25, 2011

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Bicolore Edition is set for European and Asian markets.

The United States will not get the latest Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Bicolore Edition, which was unveiled at the Qatar motor show this week. The all-wheel-drive version will be a European- and Asian-market-only car, Lamborghini says.

While this exclusion could cause an uproar among American Sant'Agata enthusiasts, all hope is not lost. The U.S. market will get the Bicolore Edition in an LP 550-2 variation, on the same platform as the rear-wheel-drive Gallardo Balboni Edition.

The new Bicolore will have a color scheme similar to that of the earlier-generation Gallardo Special Edition, with the roof, engine cover and rear spoiler painted in "Noctis Black." The rest of the vehicle can be sprayed in one of five colors: Giallo Midas, Arancio Borealis, Grigio Telesto, Bianco Monocerus and Blu Caelum.

Satellite navigation, rearview camera, carbon-ceramic disc brakes and heated seats are some of the many options customers can add to their special-edition Gallardos.

"With the Gallardo LP 560-4 Bicolore, Lamborghini demonstrates once again the extreme, uncompromising and unmistakably Italian nature of our brand," said Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "The super sports cars from Lamborghini combine volcanic energy with design that is as unique as it is stylish."

The Bicolore is the latest in a long line of variations for the Gallardo LP, preceded by the LP 560-4, the LP 560-4 Spyder, the LP 550-2 Balboni Edition, the LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition, the LP 570-4 Superleggera and the LP 570-4 Spyder Performante.

More than 10,000 Gallardos have rolled out of the Italian production facility, which makes it the most-produced vehicle from Lamborghini in the company's history.

The Bicolore might join the company display at the Geneva motor show in March, where Lamborghini plans to unveil to the public its new flagship, the LP 700.
